SYPA allocates $100m dollars to J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s timberland advisory business as part of their Net Zero journey
09/05/2025
|

South Yorkshire Pensions Authority (SYPA) continues to demonstrate their commitment to their journey to Net Zero by 2030 by increasing their natural capital investment portfolio with another forestry addition.
Their latest investment sees the South Yorkshire Pension Fund allocate $100m (around £80m) to Campbell Global, a J.P. Morgan Asset Management company, as part of their asset backed forestry strategy, which aims to contribute to lower emissions while supporting biodiversity and delivering diversified and attractive long-term risk-adjusted returns for investors.
Campbell Global is a leading global investment advisor based in Portland, Oregon. They have nearly four decades of experience in forestland investment advisory services and value creation. As of December 31, 2024, Campbell Global has provided- investment advisory and forest management services for over 5.7 million acres (2.3 million hectares) worldwide for pension funds, foundations, and other institutional investors since its inception.
Campbell Global pursues a real assets strategy that provides diversified exposure to high-quality forestlands in select global jurisdictions, while targeting a carbon negative outcome by seeking long-term investments and projects anticipated to sequester carbon, generate instruments representing greenhouse gas (“GHG”) reduction or removal of one metric tonne of carbon dioxide (“CO2”) or CO2 equivalent as independently verified in accordance with a relevant carbon standard, and provide other environmental benefits.
George Graham, director, South Yorkshire Pensions Authority, said:
"Forestry plays a vital role in our natural capital allocation as outlined in our Investment Strategy. It provides a resilient and diversified source of returns, aiding our journey to net zero and our initiatives to combat climate change and support biodiversity, which our pension scheme members highly value. Campbell Global, a leading global investment advisor specialising in timberland investments, is a pioneer in this field with decades of expertise in forestry assets. This makes the strategy an ideal choice for South Yorkshire Pension Fund."
John Gilleland, Chief Executive Officer of Campbell Global, said:
“We’re very pleased to leverage our extensive experience in global timberland management to support SYPA’s commitment to sustainable forestry practices. Our focus is on creating income and value appreciation while contributing positive to climate solutions. Beyond financial attributes, our work in the forests includes carbon sequestration, water conservation, and the enhancement of biodiversity and habitats.”
